After lunch, Yang Guang took the scimitar and left home with Xu Ling.

After a morning of direct sunlight, the water vapor in the mountain had dissipated and returned to its original appearance before the heavy rain.

Only the mud left behind by the mountain flood showed how fierce the mountain flood was last night.

The two entered the mountain and then walked along the direction of the river. Along the way, they followed the dried mud, and it was easy to find the source of the mountain flood.

After walking for two kilometers and passing through the canyon where the scenic area was, the traces of the mud turned and led to the valley next to it.

At this moment, the traces of the mud had already separated from the river water. The river water flowing out of the mountain came from the northwest, and the traces left by the flash flood last night came from the valley in the southwest!

Seeing this scene, Yang Guang and Xu Ling looked at each other and realized that something was wrong!

“There is no stream in this valley. The weeds and trees inside are very lush. It is impossible to form a flood!” Yang Guang said.

Xu Ling nodded and asked, “Is there a small reservoir or something in the mountain?”

Yang Guang shook his head. “No, I have been here to pick mountain goods. There is a forest inside the valley. There is no water at all!”

“That’s really weird!”

Xu Ling said and walked towards the valley. “You’ll know once you go in and take a look!”

Yang Guang quickly walked in front of her. As he walked, he said, “Don’t be anxious. Follow me!”

Xu Ling smiled. She thought to herself that he was quite self-aware and knew how to protect her.

Thus, the two of them slowly walked into the depths of the valley, one in front and one behind.

The traces left by the flood were still there. The weeds were all washed down to the ground and were covered with dried mud, forming a long open space that was more than ten meters wide.

Because it had been dried by the sun, it was very convenient to walk on it.

After walking along with the dried mud for a few hundred meters, the two of them reached the end of the valley.

Then, Yang Guang and Xu Ling saw a huge cave in the mountain wall!

Judging from the traces, the flood came from here.

The cave was more than three meters wide and two meters high. The bottom of the cave was only two meters from the ground. It was not very high.

Yang Guang and Xu Ling were dumbfounded.

Obviously, the flood that was so big last night actually came from here!

It flowed so fast and for such a long time, how much water was in the cave?

Turning to look at Xu Ling, Yang Guang said with his eyes wide open, “It looks like there really is a reservoir in the belly of the mountain!”

“The water is all gone. Do you want to go in and take a look?”

Xu Ling’s eyes lit up. She did not look at him as she looked straight into the cave and asked.

“Let’s go, of course, we have to look! But wait for me to get a torch first, or else we won’t see anything when we go in!”

When they entered the mountain, they did not expect to find such a place, so they did not bring a torch.

Yang Guang turned around and entered the forest. First, he got a long pine stick, took off his socks, and tied it. Then, he got some pine oil on it, and a simple torch was made.

Carrying the torch out, Yang Guang said to Xu Ling, “Sister, help me hold it, I’ll go up first!”

After saying that, he immediately ran over and jumped into the cave.

Then, he turned around. Yang Guang leaned out and grabbed Xu Ling’s wrist, easily pulling her up.

A gust of wind blew in front of him, bringing with it a hint of moisture. The air was very fresh.

Yang Guang lit the torch, and the yellow flame immediately lit up. At the same time, there was a series of crackling sounds.

After the flame was fully ignited, he raised the torch and brought Xu Ling into the cave.

The ground was wet and slippery, and there was a lot of wet mud. However, it was still considered flat and not difficult to walk.

However, after walking for only two steps, there was already a slope in front of them, which made it a little difficult to walk.

Yang Guang held Xu Ling’s hand, and the two of them carefully walked up. It took them a little effort to climb up this slope.

As the fire lit up the space in front of them, Xu Ling and Yang Guang were stunned.

The fire could only illuminate a dozen meters around them, but they still saw extremely beautiful scenery.

It was not clear how big the cave was, but as far as their eyes could see, there were many colorful stalactites, as if they had entered a stone forest!

Yang Guang held the torch in one hand and pulled Xu Ling with the other. He did not care about the mud under his feet. As he enjoyed the beautiful scenery, he walked deeper into the stone forest.

The stalactites reflected the light of the fire. Their shapes were strange and beautiful, causing both of them to forget to speak.

After walking for a while, the light of the fire gradually dimmed. Only then did Yang Guang notice that the torch was about to burn out, so he hurriedly said to Xu Ling, “Let’s stop here first. Let’s go back and come back another day!”

“Okay, bring a flashlight in next time!”

Xu Ling nodded, and the two of them turned around and walked out of the cave.

When they reached the outside, the two of them were still a little immersed in shock. After a long while, Xu Ling remembered and could not help but say with some annoyance, “I forgot just now. I should have taken a few pictures!”

“It’s okay. This cave can’t escape. Let’s take pictures next time!”

Yang Guang smiled and continued, “Sister, this cave is so beautiful. Can it be developed into a tourist attraction?”

“Of course!”

Xu Ling nodded and continued, “It’s just that we don’t know how big the inside is yet. Let’s explore it carefully later!”

“Okay, we’ll come back when we’re fully prepared!”

Even though that was the case, both of them felt that this cave was very worth developing. No matter what was deep inside, just the stalactite forest just now was enough to become a very good landscape.

It was already past three o’clock in the afternoon when they returned home. The refrigerator had already arrived, and Wu Xiaolian had also packed the wild boar meat inside.

Seeing the two of them return, Wu Xiaolian hurriedly asked, “How was it? What did you find in the mountain?”

Xu Ling smiled and told her what she had seen in the mountain.

At this time, Yang Guang stepped into the room. First, he charged the flashlight. After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and called Qi Yingxue.

After the call was connected, he said to Qi Yingxue, “Sis, if you have time, help me go to the market and see if there are any strong-light torches available.”

“Sure, why do you need this?”

Qi Yingxue asked.

“I found another cave and want to explore it properly because it might be very big inside. It can’t be done without good lighting!” Yang Guang said.

“Is that so? I’ll go and take a look for you later.”

Qi Yingxue said and then asked, “Is it urgent?”

“It’s not very urgent, but it would be best if it could be delivered tomorrow. You can hand the flashlights to the bus driver. I’ll wait at the terminal!” Yang Guang said.

“Okay, I got it. Let me go to the market first!”

Qi Yingxue said and hung up the phone.

Yang Guang decided that the flashlight would arrive the next day, so he wanted to go into the mountain again to inspect the cave. However, just as he went out to the courtyard, a car stopped outside..
